## Where it stands

**Still possible** Its tests haven't settled it: two pieces of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- New excavated texts fail to give coherent Elamite under the 2022 values.

## What would rule it out

- A long excavated text or new bilingual reads coherently under the values fixed in 2022.
